Cupertino council clears huge Apple ‘spaceship’ campus for liftoff

The Cupertino city council unanimously approved Apple’s planned 2.8-million-square-foot spaceship-like headquarters Tuesday evening. “Right here at this same podium two years ago, Steve shared his excitement about this campus and about creating a home where Apple grew up,” Apple real estate and facilities head Dan Whisenhunt said, according to the San Jose Mercury News. “Cupertino is synonymous with Apple; it’s on every (Apple) box and we’re immensely proud of that.”
